Charlie Woods - 20 |
 |
|
Charlie Woods is the epitome of what Gary Waters likes in an inside player in the Viking program. He has the height and athleticism to be a difference maker at both ends of the court while his three-point shooting ability creates matchup problems for opposing defenses. He recovered from an unfortunate injury that limited his advancement in 2008-09, but he has bounced back strongly to get ready for the upcoming season.

• Played in 23 games as a reserve inside, averaging 1.9 points a game.
• Made his only career start in the season-ending game vs. Milwaukee in the league tourney.
